Retired Dean of Education identified as victim in Castleton homicide
CASTLETON, Vt. (WCAX) - Vermont State Police have identified the victim in a homicide investigation in Castleton. Police identified the woman as 77-year-old Honoree Fleming. She was a retired Dean of Education at VTSU Castleton. The cause of death was a gunshot wound to the head and ruled a homicide.
Police say the suspect is still on the run and are asking for the public to keep a sharp eye out and review any surveillance video they may have.
Neighbors we spoke to say they are on edge. “Probably keep the kids inside and be a little careful about what we do and be observant,” said Phillip Wagenbach, who lives across the street from the active crime scene where Vermont State Police say Fleming was found dead on the rail trail around 4:30 p.m. Thursday.
Witnesses told police a man could be seen leaving the area shortly after hearing gunfire. “But we have no idea where this gentleman suspect took off, whether he exited the trail through the woods or just walked it to its end,” said Vermont State Police Maj. Dan Trudeau.
